ok, almost ordered a box of hair nets... but do they interfere with the up down motion of the skimmer baskets? or would they just take it in and dump it out. or do they stay put through the motion?

I keep a small rock in the bottom of my skimmer basket so it stays at the bottom of the skimmer at all times.
Your skimmer basket should not be bobbing up & down in the skimmer.

I use a rock just slightly larger than the opening in the bottom of the skimmer housing, incase I drop the rock into the skimmer it can't get sucked into the plumbing.
Also a big fan of the hair nets, so much easier (& cheaper) than the stockings I used to clean & re-use.

Do you have a normal skimmer with a weir door? Or one of the floating skimmers?
If the later, I am not sure how the nets/socks might impact the operation.
the basket goes in the hole, and then it has the second part that goes in that and goes up and down with water depth... but it is a solid piece with no holes in it, so it does bob a little bit... creates more suction... imop
maybe it was added on later... but seems like they went together from the day it was put in.
So after looking up skimmer baskets... i see why the confusion. it is not just one part that sits there, so must be the floating skimmer
Yup, sounds like you have the floating skimmer and not the typical one with a weir door.
If you decide to try a net/sock, report back as to how it works out

if someone PM me and mail me one, i can test it...
I don't think it will stay put is what I think.
